Android Data Binding : Observable List to RecyclerView's Adapter

Question

Is their a way, by using the ObservableList class from the new Data Binding library and the MVVM pattern, to avoid using \"notifyItem(s)...\" metho

Answer 1

Have a look at following implementation of the RecyclerView's adapter:

https://github.com/radzio/android-data-binding-recyclerview/blob/master/recyclerview-binding/src/main/java/net/droidlabs/mvvm/recyclerview/adapter/BindingRecyclerViewAdapter.java

It automatically notifies the recycler view if the OnListChangedCallback is called.

Also have a look at the rest of the repository. It shows how to bind your ObervableList to the adapter using xml. So that you can have something like this:

app:items="@{usersViewModel.users}"
